Hugh Schwarz
fromHOW DO YOU DO
Hugh rode thru the desert
on his haunches
naming every object
he could see
mostly it was confectionery
wrappers which already
had pretty good names
he reckoned
Θ
Hugh wonders if
the hole in the
ozone layer
was a one-off offer
of transcendence
Θ
into the desert
went Hugh
on a starvation diet
trying to uncover
himself thru
autophagy
you are what
you eat
removing his clothes
he doubled over
& came into his own
mouth
he liked the taste
it was bitter
& foreign
Hugh learned
he was not
himself
Θ
Hugh wonders constantly
what is going on
with his penis
Hugh Schwarz is an amateur physician, part-time litterer, and hoarder. He lives in the Adelaide Hills yet has never felt further away from wine or God.
